As a member of the land surface modeling group, I’ve been participating in the new generation climate system model development since 2005, focusing on biogeochemical processes, including terrestrial carbon cycle and dynamical vegetation to meet the PCMDI5 experiments requests. Another work is to connect the satellite remote dataset products with climate models, such as land cover mapping and land surface-related parameters (snow, albedo).

The works on regional climate modeling include the parameterization scheme improvement (soil moisture and temperature in RegCM_NCC based on RegCM2, operationalization experiments of RegCM_NCC in short-term climate prediction (during 1997-2004), and coupling of the RegCM with hydrology and crop model, as well as investigations on the impacts of "initial "land surface factors, like the land cover, initial soil moisture, heat flux and snow cover (after 2004).

Additionally, relationship between summer monsoon and rainfall of the South China has been diagnostic studied before 1997.

Work contributed to various key national and natural science foundation projects, including the NSFC, “863”, “973”, Welfare projects, and so on.
